The Entry Conditions
Introduce long positions when the cyan line bypasses the red one beneath and the pairs are positioned in the lowest partial of the indicator’s window.
Introduce short positions when the cyan line bypasses the red one from above and the pairs are positioned in the uppermost partial of the indicator’s windows.
The Exit Conditions

Instance
Five signals for this strategy can be noticed on the instance diagram above. All stop-loss levels are highlighted with the yellow horizontal lines one the diagram. The initial signal is for short position with a close stop-loss; take-gain is attainable here. The second one is a vigorous signal, which shifts out to be a mistaken pull-back, luckily enough; the stop-loss is completely tight here. The third signal is actually not a signal, since it is a bluff figure cross that emerges in the lower half of the window and hence is neglected. The fourth signal is vigorous with a stop-loss entirely far and away, but even the most contentious take-gain level would work here. The closing signal is for short, with solid stop-loss and a moderately beneficial TP setting.
Ideally the vigorous and bluff signals should follow each other, but due to the existence of the false signals (bluff in the lower half and vigorous in the upper half of the window), it is not perpetually the case.
